history, etc.) to make them
interesting and relatable? Are
there unnecessary
Conflict and
Plot

Writing Critique Formula=
I+B+C
Finally, here are some
additional reminders that
budding critics need to take
note of when writing a
critique:
Avoid introducing your ideas by
stating “I think” or “In my opinion”
because this weakens the analysis.
Always introduce the work.
Finally, here are some
additional reminders that
budding critics need to take
note of when writing a
critique:
Do not assume that the readers
know what you are writing about and
that you don’t need to mention some
details anymore.
Finally, here are some
additional reminders that
budding critics need to take
note of when writing a
critique:
To be able to write a good
critique and help readers
understand the story, you
yourself should know well what
you are writing about.
TASK 3:
Let’s Analyze!
1. Where does the
writer present
some
background and
summary of the
text?
2. Would you say the
background
information about
the text is enough?
Why?
3. What does the
writer say
about
the different
narrative
elements?
4. Is the evaluation
exhaustive? Why
yes? Why not?
Consider these:
1. Where does the writer
present some background
and summary of the text?
 Notice that the writer
presents the background and
the summary in the first
paragraph.
2. Would you say the
background information
about the text is enough?
Why?
The background information is
enough because it provides a
clear and concise overview of
the film’s main plot, central
character (Elsa), and the themes
it tackles.
3. What does the writer say
about the different narrative
elements?
The writer discusses several
narrative elements, particularly the
intertwining of personal and
collective narratives in the film. It
emphasizes how Elsa's growing
fame and the villagers' increasing
desperation reflect the shift from
hope to fanaticism.
4. Is the evaluation
exhaustive? Why yes? Why
not?
The evaluation is not
exhaustive. While the writer
provides insightful commentary
on the film's themes, narrative
elements, and performances, it
does not delve deeply into
every aspect of the film.
